"Mysterious Ways" isn't bad if you imagine that it's about cunnilingus.
That's a good point.

How daring to write a song celebrating MLK in 1984. It really is amazing how you can hear the difference between the real and the phony. It's very hard to conjure emotion. You listen to the shit he actually knows and feels like the stuff about the Troubles and he really puts it across. With something like "Pride (In the Name of Love)", he may as well be singing a jingle for floor polish. I think maybe they were trying to bring up the mood from War But you're right about that song vs a bunch of other ones you can tell are meaningful to him |

I heard Stranglehold on one of the SXM stations a couple of weeks and actually thought I was the first to realize it. Apparently people have been discussing it in the interwebs since 1995. Nah - closer to "Benny Dancer" by Robin Trower. |

I don't think its their worst, but for me its one of the move over rated/loved songs of all time. Then again, my favorite album of theirs is Pop, so what do I know? Lemon (actually, almost all of Zooropa) and 'Stuck in a Moment...' are pretty fucking brutal. I also dislike 'New York' just because of Boilermaker Rick. |

But I do agree on 'Pop' as it's pretty damn great. Most of my "Most Hated U2 Songs..." come from ATYCLB, HTDAAB and NLOTH. There were some clunkers on Rattle & Hum but it was a good album overall, I actually respect what they tried to do with it and of course I like where it led them next. |

"Lemon" is okay. Just okay. "Stuck in a Moment..." does nothing for me either. But I unapologetically love "With or Without You." It's a perfect song. The worst U2 song is probably either "Vertigo" or some random b-side or some other cut off How to Dismantle. Bad U2 is like bad Simpsons; I just don't give it any thought and concentrate on all the good. |

New York features some of Bono's worst lyrics. That's a song I don't listen to for the words. The band was fucking amazing on that track. Do You Feel Loved is mostly ignored, from an ignored album, but I would put that in my top 10 U2 songs ever. |

And its mostly Bono, there are parts where you can tell the band is laughing at itself (musical journey) |
